When it is remembered that since the be-
ginning of Gov. Wiltzs administration, the
total State tax has been but six mills, aud
that prior to that time it reached as high
figure as twenty-one and one-half mills, the
increased appropriations made under the ad"
minstrations of Cows. Wiltz and McEnery,
are the more creditable.
To accommodate this unfortunate insane OF
New Orleans who were kept i'll the old Ma
rine Hospital, in most pitiable condition, the
Legislature under Gov. McEnecys admins
tratlon, as we have shown in the above ap-
propriated some $73, 500 to repair buildings in
construction and to erect new building TOR
the female patients. Besides, has appropri-
ated nearly double the largest amounts ever
applied to it's maintenance.
We have been told that the present lack OF
room, despite the increased accommodations,
is attributable in great measure to the fact
that idiots and weak-minded persons are kept
there as we'll as insane persons, when the hrst
named class should be provided with sepa'
rate home, as soon as the State can afford 1t.
1t is clear, therefore, that the present ad;
mipstration has gone as far as its means Will
permit to make adequate provision for these
unfortunate wards of the State, and that lt
has done far more for it than preceding ad.
illustrations which had greater revenues at
their disposal.-B. r. Capitolian Advocate.

Mardi- Gras at Washington.

On last Tuesday his exalted Majesty
King Cotton made bis annual visit to
his Capital City, Washington, amid all
the pomp and eclat that could assure
a triumphal entry and that could elicit
the most striking testimonials of the
love and fealty of his liege subjects in
this portion of his extensive empire.
Long before the appearance of his au-
gust parsonage and his long retinue of
peers, dukes, mobiles, guards, civic Off
cials, ladiesaof honor, and household
subjects, the streets were thronged with
hundreds of eager people to catch a
sight OF the grand royal pageant and to
join in glad acclaim of welcome to the
distinguished regal visitor. At 2:30 P.
M. the grand procession began its march
in the following order:
Grand Marshal and Aids
United States Flag.
Royal Corona Brass Band.
Royal Guards.
Royal Standard
King Cotton and Court.
Banner.
Fairy Queen and Attendants
Goddess of Liberty.
Banner.
Cotton Pickers Club.

Water Nymphs.
Royal Calithumtion Band.
Banner.
Bucephalus.
Rip Van Winkle and His Dog Mounted.
Free Market.
Mobiles in Carriages.
Grandees Mounted.
General Followers.
We cannot go into graphic and de
tailed description of the splendid ap-
pearance and tout ensemble of this grand
parade. Suffice it to say, that in the
elaborate decoration of the numerous
floats, the conception of each theme was
illustrated in most attractive and ar
tistic manner whether the subject was
one of legitimate gravity, dignity, beau
ty, burlesque OF comedy, aud the nice
adjustment of SO various i; programme
combined SO many elements of interest,
jollity, and pleasure as to bring into
play all of those emotions which could
possibly animate the full enjoyment
of complex multitude of curious spec
tators. The day was one of unmixed
pleasure to all of the visitors, aud the
Cotton Pickers' Club are to be congrat-
ulated upon the entire success of their
generous efforts to afford gala time
to the citizens of Washington and st.
Landry. The grand ball at night, the
crowning of the queen, the splendid and
thrilling music, the presence of so much
beauty and noble types of manhood
conspired to make the closing events OF
the evening most fitting and striking
climax of this memorable occasion in
our sister town of Warrington. Long
live King Cotton, and all honor and
praise be awarded the Cotton Pickers'
Club.
